where to go on a budget within driving distance of Detroit?
We don't like to fly and have already been to Cleveland, Chicago, Toledo, Toronto, Lemington and Ann Arbor. We really enjoyed Cleveland but have been there several times.
We really liked La Crosse Wisconsin and went there several times when we lived in Minnesota. Now it is too far to drive. Just looking for a little getaway that fits our budget. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check out Michigan upstate. I have a friend who really enjoys visiting Traverse City over on the other side of the state. The UP is also very scenic. Door County, WI is very Cape Cod-like with neat shops, picturesque, and somewhat closer than La Crosse. Northern IN has some neat Amish cities with beautiful B&Bs and fun flea markets if you like that too.

I also live in Detroit. What about the Pocono's? We've been in the fall. BEAUTIFUL time to drive to Pennsylvania.
Trees are beautiful, the Mountains, etc.
It's a nice resort for relaxing. Lots of honeymooners. The only negative is that it's a 10 hr drive from Michigan.

Must agree with Sandy, go to Toronto, the CN Tower is great. They exchange rate is about 1 and 1/2 times ($1000 USA becomes $1500 CAN!) However, usable goods such as restaurants and hotels are not included on the tax refund, you must spend over $50 and have it checked at the US Border when you return. We exchange $$ in Windsor and traveled thru Ontario, don't be depressed when you change your money back! Fall in Canada is beautiful!

Thank you all of you for your replies. You've given me so many ideas for this trip and future trips as well. There were some I hadn't even considered before like Door County area in Wisconsin, Rochester, NY and the Amish country in northern Indiana. Again, thanks, so much for your wonderful responses.
